Designer Tips
Place a crystal stone into the setting. Use a burnishing tool to gently press the bezel down on all 4 sides of the crystal.
Use the burnisher to finish smoothing all sides of the bezel evenly up and over the stone.
Repeat with other crystal cushion stones.
Cut a piece of wire approx. 3". Form a large wire wrapped loop (this will be your necklace bail). Add bead. Form the 2nd wire-wrapped loop directly through the top loop of the setting. If desired, swirl the tail across the bead and then wrap the tail around the top loop's base.
